TSAPI

Telephony Services Application Programming Interface.

 

An application programming interface that allows computer

 

telephony applications to be used. TSAPI is supported by

 

the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release

 

5.0. See also TAPI and CTI.

 

TTR

(touch-tone receiver) Device used to decode DTMF

 

 

touch-tones dialed from single-lineor Remote Access

 

 

telephones.

 

U

UDP

(Uniform Dial Plan) Composed of the local dial plan and

 

non-local dial plan. A dial plan that allows a caller at any

 

extension in a private network to dial the same number of

 

digits to reach any other extension in the private network,

 

even if the originating extension is physically connected to

 

one communications system and the terminating extension

 

is physically connected to a different communications

 

system.

unambiguous

The practice of numbering of extension ranges, remote

numbering

access codes, or other system components to avoid routing

 

conflicts in network or local calling. For example, Extension

 

441 is unique when compared to Extension 4410.

 

However, it is ambiguous, because a system routes as

 

soon as it matches the digits sent for a call with the digits in

 

a local plan or in a non-local dial plan extension range.

 

When a caller dials ￿￿￿￿, a system routes the call to

 

Extension 441 immediately, without considering the last

 

dialed digit.

Uniform Dial Plan

See UDP.

uninterruptible

See UPS.

power supply

 

unit load

Measure of the power load drain of a module, telephone, or

 

adjunct.

unmonitored

An extension for which no CTI application is receiving call

extension

information. See also CTI link and monitored extension.
